To Reflect: A Leader’s 4 Options
(Anecdotally), 95% of change initiatives require someone, somewhere, to do something different. Sometimes this someone does do the new thing. And sometimes they don’t. As Change Leaders we really only have 4 options when driving change:
- The ol’ Captain’s Call. Mandate it and deal with the poor results.
- Don’t do it and stick with the status quo.
- Find a way to increase the reward side of the Value Equation.
- Find a way to decrease the pain side of the Value Equation.
